Just looking through the rework notes…passive stealth…can she not contest points anymore then unless she’s actively fighting something??
Update(??) - according to Reddit the objective does not decloak her but she cannot go back to stealth once she’s contesting…
question is can you break stealth if there’s nothing to hit I guess
I am assuming she cannot while in stealth, otherwise that would be the best stall in the entire game.
Then again I would legit be shocked if she could.
Not when in stealth, but visible yes.
they are referring to the new changes, were Sombra LOSES control on when she can stealth or translocate
Well she can’t now…but you can just get out of it so that you can….I’m not seeing how you would be able to do that anymore though
They’re saying if anyone gets close enough to her that it’ll pull her out of stealth. I’m guessing the range on that will be such that, as long as someone is on the point, she’ll be visible to them… which leads me to believe she’ll still be able to contest, but time will tell.
Wouldn’t you just… try to shoot?
maybe contesting stops the passive from starting? …bc imagine contesting alone and your passive starts by itself and you c9 ontop of cart bc invis cant contest
Like I replied above. Couldn’t you just shoot like 1 ammo to stop that? You don’t stop contesting until you’re fully cloaked.
yes, but then goes back to stealth automatically again? So what i have to sit there and shoot the entire time trying to take the point? Why would i do that? I want my gun ready if i do get in a fight.
According to the new infographic, stealth passive still has a cooldown.
Stealth probably will work like the support heal passive, which has a cooldown.
Using translocater lowers it apparently.
And it only takes 1 ammo to get out of stealth (and that’s IF there’s no decloak animation. Decloak animation currently plays and exists stealth before you even fire the weapon OR lose ammo)
You can just press fire to end stealth.
Or… just sacrifice 1 ammo depending on the cooldown length of there’s no decloak animation. It’s not like you have to fire non-stop.
It’s not like you’re constantly emptying a full clip to prevent instantly vanishing.
But why? Why would id have to do that? Why would I want to reveal exactly where I am with a gun shot? Its a rediculous solution
Is it really that hard? Just… pressing a button? Nothing even happens.
No, my point is, it shouldnt have to be something we have to do. Its clunky at best, and no others have to shoot a gun. and im sorry, but every bullet counts
Like I said, most likely you won’t even need to lose the bullet.
And yeah stealth as a passive is clunky regardless. But THIS specific contesting example makes no sense because it’s not horrible unavoidable.
what? as soon as i hit the trigger it shoots the gun, and it doesnt just shoot one bullet.
Go in game right now and shoot as Sombra in invis. Tap it don’t hold. You decloak before you fire.
dont know, because i dont hit the trigger unless im about to commit.
But even if thats the case, its a clunky solution that shouldnt be somehing that is required to do.
Well that’s how it works.
It comes with stealth being a passive as is a non-issue. Again, one tap and nothing happens. It’s just a learning curve.
you do realize shooting makes sound right?
